Good Company Players – DREAMGIRLS, the smash hit musical about an up-and-coming 1960s girl group, graces the stage at Roger Rocka’s Dinner Theater, July 22 through September 12.

Full of onstage joy and backstage drama, DREAMGIRLS tells of the triumphs and tribulations that come with fame and fortune. Hopeful talents Deena Jones, Lorrell Robinson and Effie White are performing as The Dreamettes when ambitious agent Curtis Taylor, Jr. discovers them. He lands them a job as backup singers for the soul and rock ‘n’ roll sensation James “Thunder” Early and begins to guide their quickly rising career. However, when the beautiful Deena emerges as the star of the group rather than the full-voiced Effie, the girls are brought to personal and professional crossroads.

Singer Effie White (MYSTIQUE STEWARD) fights for her right to stay with the girl group and the man of her dreams (EDWARD ANDERSON).

DREAMGIRLS will introduce MYSTIQUE STEWARD as Effie White and feature, as “The Dreams,” SALISHA THOMAS as Deena Jones, TINEKSIA ROBINSON as Lorrell Robinson and CAMILLE GASTON as Michelle Morris. The cast of 25 also includes EDWARD ANDERSON as Curtis Taylor, Jr., BARTON PERRY and DENZEL PERRY splitting the role of James “Thunder” Early, CHRISTIAN HARRIS as C.C. White, DESJHON GLENN as Marty Madison, and JONATHAN WHEELER as Wayne. The ensemble features ARIANNA BRASHEAR, BRITTNEY CALDWELL, CHEYENNE GRAY, DOMINIC GRIJALVA, AJA GILL-DYANGKO, STEPHANIE GIOMETTI, LATONIA HAYNES, LARRY MATTOX, JOHNNY MISSAKIAN, JULIAN PEREZ, TYFANNIE ROBINSON, GARY SHEPARD, KATRINA STEWARD, JAMAR THOMPSON, & PA DAO YANG.

The Dremettes’ career is set back when an All-American singing group, Dave & The Sweethearts, cover their best record. Pictured from left, DOMINIC GRIJALVA, PA DAO YANG, CHEYENNE GRAY, & STEPHANIE GIOMETTI.
